The mouse monoclonal antibody clone ICRF44 binds to human CD11b, also known as alpha M, α-M, ITGAM/CR3A, or Mac-1. This 165-170 kDa cell surface glycoprotein is part of a family of integrin α-receptors that mediate adhesion between cells (cell-cell) and components of the extracellular matrix, e.g., fibrinogen (cell-matrix). In addition, integrin α's are active signaling receptors that recruit leukocytes to inflammatory sites and promote cell activation. Complete, functional integrin α-receptors consist of distinct combinations of integrin α-chains, which are differentially expressed. integrin alpha M (CD11b) assembles with integrin beta-2 (CD18) into a receptor known as Macrophage Antigen-1 (Mac-1) or complement receptor type 3 (CR3). This receptor binds and induces intracellular signaling through ICAM-1, ICAM-2, ICAM-3, and ICAM-4 on endothelial cells and can also facilitate the removal of iC3b-bearing foreign cells. CD11b is expressed on many cell types, including myeloid-lineage cells such as monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils, and in lymphoid cells such as NK cells, peritoneal B-1 cells, Memory B cells, and microglia.

RECOMMENDED USAGE

Flow cytometry: The suggested use of this reagent is 5 µL per 1 million cells in a staining volume of 100 µL. If whole blood is analyzed, then use 5 µL per 100 µL. It is recommended that users titrate the antibody to obtain the optimal result for their specific application. The content of a vial (0.5 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.
